Lions - Paperback

Lush mane flows ... Deep roar echoes ... Meet the lion! Brimming with vivid photos and scientific facts, Lions treats middle-grade researchers and wild animal lovers to a comprehensive profile of this marvelous African mammal. It covers zoology topics such as anatomy, diet, habitat, and life cycle, as well as species conservation efforts and the big cat's relationship with humans throughout history. Sidebars, a range map, and a glossary support the main text, while Aesop's fable "The Lion and the Mouse" adds a cross-curricular cultural layer to the title.
